Lincoln City prepare to entertain Northampton Town at Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 23 previous games, with the The Red Imps winning just 11.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2004, as the The Red Imps squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a League Two match.
